Has anyone ever turned up anything regarding the origins of William Patrick Garvin born 1831 in Orangeburg, SC, Died 1921 in Wagener, S.C. No one seems to be able to find him in the 1850 Census.

Lusk Trade: Weaver Age: 24 Size: Ft. In.: 5' 7 3/4" Hair: Brown Complexion: Brown Previously, no specific record was known to show Henry's exact year of birth. This puts it at 1752. 2nd -- Henry Garvin's granddaughter, Mary Catherine (Garvin) Hoch (1833-1931) is credited with the report of her grandfather's death "around 1807" when he died from an unlucky fall into Antietam Creek, somewhere in the vicinity of the Franklin Co., Pa. and Washington Co., Md. line. A second search on Google Books turned up a brief mention in the Appendix to the Journal of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -- Session 1814-15 -- Receipts and Expenditures in the Treasury of Pennsylvania, etc. page 54, "1814 -- Feb. 17 Paid Henry Garvin a sum equal to one year's pension, decreed to him by the board of inquiry on this day." Following up on the lead, I have obtained a packet of photocopies from the Pennsylvania State Archives which includes a two page document: Records of the Department of the Auditor General (Pennsylvania), Revolutionary War Pension File, 1809-1893 Series 2.60 Henry Garvin Outside of folded document: 17 Jul 1816, No. 122, Henry Garvin, admitted discharge del[ivere]d to Rich[ar]d M. Crain, Esqr the 13th Aug. 1818 to forward to Washington by H. Garvin to aid his claim for a Pension from the U.S. [later annotation] On inside of folded document: Waynesburgh, February 14th, 1815 I do hereby certify that I have known the bearer Henry Garvin for several years that he is a sober man and aged citizen but that he is now in low circumstance and is unable to make his Living and he hopes a generous Public will engable him to recover some favoer for past services as he spent his best days in the service of his contry (sic) from the year seventy-six till the close of the first war for the proof of which he has his Discharge to shew given under my hand. Wm. Bleakney Henry Garvin swore before the Board in respect to his inability to earn a living and that he does not posses property sufficent to maintain him. [This annotation was made at the hearing that awarded Henry his pension] ---------------------- Second sheet Waynesburgh, February 14th, 1814 Jacob Deerhart, Esqr. Tis I make bold to recommend to you the bearer Henry Garvin who was an old soldier and is now reduced and unable to Labour for his Living and has no way to make a living only by his industry provided you would assist him when he cal[l]s on you he will shew you his papers and his Discharge and if he is intitled to any relief you can put him in the way to git his business dun, you compliance will be thankfully acknowledged by your Very humble servant Wm. Bleakney ------------------------------------------------------ Waynesburg, Pa. is located in Franklin County and this clinches the identification with "our" Henry. It's probable that Henry's granddaughter's recollection of the cause of his untimely death is not inaccurate -- but what isn't clear is how long after his discharge was sent to Richard Crain to be included in a pension application -- that he died. -- Richard Cochran, Big Rapids, Michigan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Perhaps your post will rally up a "kin" from another branch of the tree. All the best. Happy April 2011 to you.
